Shiba Inu Needs to Break 5-Week Downtrend to Reclaim $0.000008

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been locked in a battle to reclaim the psychological level of $0.000008 since it slipped below it, with this goal persistently challenged by a 5-week downtrend.

SHIB surrendered the $0.000008 point to the bears on Sept. 1. September has seen Shiba Inu’s valiant attempts to regain this price point thwarted by persistent bearish pressure, resulting in a continuous descent.

The downward spiral for SHIB began as far back as Aug. 18, following a drop from the $0.00000876 high. This descent has led to a discernible downtrend characterized by a clear trendline. 

Shiba Inu‘s latest attempt to break above this downward slope was on Sept. 23, when the asset soared to $0.00000768. However, the bears mounted fierce opposition at the price point, effectively thwarting this move.

Notably, the key to reclaiming the coveted $0.000008 level hinges on Shiba Inu’s ability to surpass the trendline. A successful breach would bring Shiba Inu face-to-face with its next hurdle at $0.00000801, located at the Fib level of 0.236. Beyond this point, a more substantial resistance awaits at $0.00000864.

However, the bulls should not allow attempts at breaking this trendline to leave them defenseless. To safeguard against further declines and sustain the $0.000007 psychological support, Shiba Inu must maintain a price level above $0.00000699. 

Developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem and the overall direction of the broader cryptocurrency market could play a vital role in determining the asset’s next direction from here.
